THE LAST EMBRACE

Between the constant rain and tears,

Neglecting my hopes and fears,

I stood on the bus stand in the last embrace,

I couldn't bear to see his face,

We stood together as my eyes were fixed,

Upon him, as he planted on my cheek a soft kiss,

Amid the pools and puddles with resounding cries,

The crowds and curious passers-by,

His grip loosened but I didn't want to let go,

What destiny would bring we both didn't know,

In the blur of my vision and thoughts it was not long,

Before in the melting drops of rain he was gone.
